LAKE PLACID — It’s been more than adecade since Vermontville-native Bill De-mong flew half-way around the world tocompete in his first Winter Olympics.

Demong was just 17 years old when hewas tapped to represent the U.S. NordicCombined team in Nagano, Japan. Now,at 29, he’s qualified for the fourth timeand is ready to make history as the firstU.S. athlete from his sport to take homean Olympic medal.

Demong rounded out his 2008-09 sea-son with a gold medal at the World Cham-pionships in the Czech Republic, andjoins four-time Olympian Todd Lodwickon the U.S. Olympic Nordic Combinedteam.

Eleven athletes from the U.S. will battleit out for the two remaining spots on theteam at the FIS Continental Cup beingheld Dec. 19 and 20 in Lake Placid.

Demong said the Americans are goinginto Vancouver with one of their strongestteams to date.

“Quite honestly, I’m really excited tosee who’s going to fill out our team be-cause we’ve got a lot of strong competi-tors and some young guys pushing tomake the team. It’s going to be exciting.”

Nordic sports like ski jumping, biathlonand cross-country skiing have never en-joyed the same popularity in the U.S. asthey have throughout Europe and Russia.

But the rise of the nordic combined teamcoupled with strong performances frombiathletes Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey –also native upstate New Yorkers – has re-

sulted in increased attention on nordicsports.

The Adirondack Singers, alocal community choir, will beperforming their annual Holi-day Concert Sunday Decem-ber 6th, 2 p.m. at St. Bernard’sChurch in Saranac Lake.

Karen Butters, who has beendirecting the group for thepast 11 seasons, and has trav-eled to Saranac Lake from herhome in Blue Mountain Lakeeach week since mid-Septem-ber to help the singers preparefor their performance.

“This year's program drawsfrom American holiday music,traditional, sacred and secu-lar, including some newarrangements of traditionalChristmas songs,” said But-ters.

The program also includes amajor work, “The Glory of HisMajesty,” by composer Jack-son Berkey,the featured key-

board artist with the well-known group MannheimSteamroller.

“It is the one I am most ex-cited about performing be-cause of its depth of musicalstyle and its message,” saidButters. “The work featuresour accompanist, Carol Lom-bard, as well as solos by MaryFay Hendrick, Valerie Abra-

ham-Rogers and Saranac Lakestudent Jessica Kemp.”

As a non-profit organiza-tion, the Adirondack Singersrely on member dues, concertproceeds, and grants to oper-ate.

APA reassigns Van CottEnforcement director removedafter e-mailing insults


RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency hasremoved its enforcement program director from hisposition after he sent e-mails to Sandy Lewis callinghim a “sociopath.”

Paul Van Cott, who since 2004 has headed theAPA’s enforcement division, has been reassigned aspart of the agency’s general counsel office.

According to APA spokesman Keith McKeever,Van Cott’s reassignment is part of an “ongoing, ag-gressive transition in the agency’s legal division.”Four of the APA’s six senior attorneys are currentlyeligible for retirement, he said.

“Paul is the most senior attorney on staff not eli-gible for retirement,” McKeever explained.

The change in position will give Van Cott a broad-er range of duties, McKeever said, focusing onAgency rules and regulations and other legal issuesbesides enforcement. He would not comment onwhether Van Cott’s salary would change.

However, the move raises speculation as it comesjust two weeks after Van Cott e-mailed Lewis, an Es-sex farmer who won a lengthy court battle with theagency in July and is now suing the agency for morethan $200,000 in legal fees.

Lewis has regularly sent mass e-mails for severalmonths to area reporters, lawyers, and officials fromstate and local agencies sharing his disdain for offi-cials at the APA, including Van Cott, who he referredto as “simply not competent” in a Nov. 10 e-mail.

Using his APA e-mail account, Van Cott respond-ed.

“Mr. Lewis, you are a sociopath,” wrote Van Cott.“Please shut up. Go out and get a shovel and worklike a real person on your farm. Enjoy life and be areal farmer. You are very fortunate. Realize that andget a life.”

In his reply, Lewis sent copies to State and Coun-ty officials, including a State Police Sergeant andthree members of the State Assembly.

“The sociopath is the APA,” wrote Lewis in re-sponse. “You and your close-linked 501(c)3 coteriehave perfected the art of raping the indigenous tothe point of distraction and tears, serious illness andcommunity-wide depression over 6.5 million acresfor 37 years.”

Van Cott then wrote a second e-mail that went tothe same recipients.

“Go farm. Dig a hole, milk a cow. Enjoy the 1,000acres of farmland on Lake Champlain that youhave,” he wrote, going on to defend the APA’s Nov.9 settlement with LeRoy Douglas, the Silver Lake re-sort owner who recently had his APA enforcementcase dropped.

“You won your case,” Van Cott told Lewis. “Werespect the law. Go farm.”

When asked about whether the e-mails had a rolein the decision to reassign Van Cott, McKeever of-fered no affirmation, but did note that the agencytook action.

“The agency did not condone Paul’s responses,”said McKeever, “and we’ve recused him from his re-sponsibilities in the Lewis and Douglas matters.”

Van Cott has been employed by the APA since2000. Prior to that, he was a lawyer for the state At-torney General’s Office.

“He did a heck of a job,” said McKeever, notingthat the enforcement division has dealt with over2000 cases during Van Cott’s tenure, including ahigh-profile federal case where the judge praisedthe agency’s handling of the issue. “I think that’s in-dicative of Paul’s work and the efforts of agency en-forcement.”

Another senior attorney at the agency, SarahReynolds, who has worked in the enforcement divi-sion since 2004, will take Van Cott’s place as actingenforcement program director.

“We anticipate hiring another attorney in theshort-term,” McKeever said.

LAKE PLACID — NorthElba Supervisor Roby Politisaid New York State has of-fered to provide the townwith a bridge for the Adiron-dack Loj Road.

Politi met Nov. 23 with of-ficials from the state Depart-ment of Transportation, whoagreed to grant a 56-footlong and 28-foot-widebridge to replace a tempo-rary one-lane steel bridgeowned by Essex County.

The bridge is currently inMalta, near SaratogaSprings, but Essex Countyofficials have agreed totransport it to the site andinstall it.

“The town will pay forconstruction of abutmentsand the approach of the roadto go over the bridge,” saidPoliti, noting that the cost isestimated to be roughly$250,000.

That amounts to a hugesavings, Politi said, explain-ing how the cost of con-structing a new bridge wasestimated to be between$600,000 and $1 million.

The temporary bridge hasbeen in place since 2006when the previous bridgeover North Meadow Brookwas deemed unsafe for traf-fic. Unlike the temporarybridge, the new bridge willgo in the same place as theold one. Politi said this willprovide a better line of sight

for cars as they approach thebridge.

“It provides additionalwidth and it’s a lot moreuser-friendly,” said Politi,adding the railing of the con-crete bridge will be lowenough to allow motorists toview the riparian valley asthey cross it.

Politi said he’s been work-ing for over a year to get thestate to help with installinga new bridge on the road,which accesses the Adiron-dack Mountain Club’s HeartLake property and state landvisited by more than 60,000people annually.

“I think the state under-stands that they are a stake-holder in the maintenance ofthis road,” said Politi. “90percent of the traffic thatgoes on it is going either tothe Adirondack Loj or to theHigh Peaks trailheads.”

For that reason, Politi andother town officials have

been asking the state to takeownership of AdirondackLoj Road. The town has of-fered to take John Brownroad in exchange, but so farthe state has been unwillingto make the deal happen.Politi said the exchange isstill a possibility, but notlikely given the current fi-nancial status of the state.

Still, Politi said he’spleased the state has agreedto provide the bridge, whichamounts to a huge cost-sav-ings for North Elba.

“I’m not going to look agift horse in the mouth,” hesaid.

The plan to replace thebridge must now obtain per-mits from both the Adiron-dack Park Agency and theDEC, but Politi doesn’t ex-pect there to be any difficul-ties. If all goes well, he said,the bridge should be in-stalled by sometime nextspring.

North Elba will get bridge for Loj RoadAdirondack Councilselling CO2 allowances

ELIZABETHTOWN — As part of its Cool Park/HealthyPlanet Carbon Retirement Program, the not-for-profitAdirondack Council is seeking partners to help it purchasethousands of tons worth of Carbon Dioxide Allowances fromthe Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

The RGGI is the nation’s first government-mandated car-bon dioxide control program. It requires power companiesto purchase every year at auction one allowance for everyton of carbon the power plant releases. Each year, the num-ber of allowances sold at auction is reduced, requiring theplants to reduce emissions.

“For a tax-deducible donation of $25, you can permanent-ly retire three tons of carbon dioxide – keeping it out of thehands of power companies that would use it to create green-house gas pollution – and dedicate the certificate to anyoneyou wish,” said Adirondack Council executive director Bri-an Houseal. “They will receive a suitable-for-framing cer-tificate explaining the significance of real carbon dioxideemissions reductions.”

Carbon Reduction Certificates are available for Christmasthrough December 23 via secure Web site at www.Adiron-dackCouncil.org or by calling 866-873-2240 toll free.

SARANAC LAKE — In office for amere three weeks, Democratic Con-gressman Bill Owens is facing his firstin-district challenge: the growing riftbetween Harrietstown and Plattsburghregarding the future provider of airservice to the Adirondack Regional andPlattsburgh International airports.

And Owens is apparently using hisinfluence by trying to strike a deal thatwill work for everyone.

The two facilities are currently undera single federal Essential Air Servicecontract through the U.S. Dept. ofTransportation, and therefore musthave the same regional airlineprovider.

Looking for more growth opportuni-ties, the Clinton County Board of Leg-islators is considering changing air-lines from Cape Air to Colgan Air.

County legislators argue that Col-gan’s larger jet aircraft would allowPlattsburgh International to grow farbeyond the limits of the nine-seat tur-boprops currently employed by CapeAir.

But Harrietstown officials and busi-ness organizations argue that althoughthe change may benefit Plattsburgh,Cape Air is the best fit for the Adiron-

dack Regional Airport.And along with elected state offi-

cials, Owens has been in negotiationswith DOT for several days, with thehopes of creating separate and inde-pendent EAS contracts.

Owens’ spokesman Jon Boughtintold WNBZ that negotiations are ongo-ing and that the Congressman will doeverything in his power to see that theneeds of both communities are wellserved.

“Congressman Owens has spokenwith both communities and the De-partment of Transportation to seewhere he can be helpful in making surethat this works out well for SaranacLake and Plattsburgh,” Boughtin said.

Harrietstown Supervisor LarryMiller said Monday he had previouslyasked U.S. DOT to split the two-yearcontracts – which will be up for renew-al in February – but was told that suchan occurrence is a rarity.

But after discussing the issue withOwens and allowing some time for thewheels of government to move, Millernoticed a different tenor from the fed-eral officials.

“I have been trying to reach BillOwens and he finally called me back atabout 1:30 or 2 p.m. He told me that hisintention as our Congressman is that heis pushing for U.S. DOT to do two sep-arate bids,” Miller said. “When I spoke

to DOT on Friday, they told me thatthey wouldn’t consider separate con-tracts. But someone must be changingtheir minds because when I spoke withthem today, I was told that they areconsidering two separate contracts.”

Officials said that if DOT allows forthe contracts to be split, it would be aprecedent-setting move.

According to Saranac Lake AreaChamber of Commerce executive di-rector Sylvie Nelson, who has been lob-bying heavily for Cape Air, the numberof airline passengers has tripled atAdirondack Regional since Cape Airtook the helm.

During election season, Owens’swork at Plattsburgh International wasa significant portion of his job creationplatform.

The EAS program was adopted bythe federal government in 1992 as ameans to incentivize airline service torural, regional airports.

Cape Air currently dominates theEAS market in New York State, beingthe benefactor of five of the six quali-fied airports in the state. Only Chau-tauqua-Jamestown Regional Airporthas a different provider.

According to U.S. DOT, in the currentyear, Cape Air has received $1.43 mil-lion for service to Adirondack Region-al and $1.38 million for service toPlattsburgh International.

Owens faces first intra-districtchallenge in airport dispute

Nobody Does It Better!Tri Lakes Today

Are wereallysheeple?Some suggest that we

have become sheeple.Sheeple are people

that accept unquestioningly what they are told by authori-ty figures around them. They follow along impassively, of-ten, at their own peril. This notion is a far cry from theAmerican underpinnings declared by our progenitors thatare decidedly not sheepish.

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obe-dient must be slaves,” said Henry David Thoreau.

The critics that have declared us all sheeple say that weare engaged in rampant consumerism. They make theircase in this way: Americans, once a nation of savers havebeen lead into culture wide indebtedness. They say thatcorporations have used misleading television advertise-ments and inducements to compel us to buy an array ofunnecessary items formerly known as junk. Most of thejunk we own is made in China. Although the items manu-factured in China are sometimes unsafe or even lethal, wecontinue to consume.

Capitalizing on an American health crisis and obsession,obesity, millions of Americans have run up sizeable creditcard balances in acquiring the next weight-reducing appa-ratus. We buy weight vests, ankle weights and handweights. We buy treadmills, Elliptical machines and elec-tric belts that attach to your stomach that cause you to loseweight without doing anything. The Abdominizer, the Bel-ly Buster, the Tummy Blaster, all offer the promise of awashboard stomach in just minutes a day.

Because Americans have less and less discretionary time,marketing a device that delivers results in minutes is at-tractive to Americans. There is also a variety of electricalappliances that cook food faster and with less fat. Thereare special cooking tools that reduce the time needed toprepare food, utilizing choppers or mini-food processorsthat have been around for about thirty years, now reborn.

They say that sheeple are not angry that the governmentdid not protect us from near financial disaster and did notlet us know ahead of time that it would occur. They saythat sheeple are not angry about bailing out billionaireswhile thousands of Americans go into personal bankruptcynot because of greed or avarice but because they cannotpay their health care bills, the number one reason forbankruptcy in America today.

I asked a good friend if he thought we were sheeple andthe mindless consumers that they make us out to be. Afterhe got off his treadmill, removed his electric tummyblaster and turned off his hair follicle stimulator he said,“No, that is ridiculous.” As I was leaving his house I no-ticed that he had the newest shoelace greaser model, theGreaser 2000. I borrowed it for a few days and my shoeshave never been more comfortable. I have to go now; I’moff to get my own Greaser 2000. Remember, all kids count.

It’s time again to answer reader mail from people likeyou who are learning to Super-Coupon:

Q: “I’ve been reading your columns with great interest.Prices seem so high right now in the grocery store. If I justbuy the store brand of products, won’t I save more moneythan using coupons on the big brands?”

A: This is a common misconception among new couponshoppers. It’s true that when you compare the shelf priceof store brands with the price of name-brand products, thestore brands often appear to save us more money. But withrare exceptions, we can almost always buy the name-brandproducts that we like and prefer — with coupons — at aneven better price than the store brand.

Why is this? Quite simply, there are more coupons anddiscounts available for name-brand products than forstore-brand products. If you look at your coupon insertsfrom the newspaper and the wide variety of couponsavailable on the Internet, you’ll quickly notice there aretypically no coupons for store-brand items.

Large, brand-name product manufacturers work hard toencourage us to try their products. They feature theirbrands and products in the coupon inserts, offering shop-pers significant discounts to try them. Many times, it’salso possible to find store coupons for the same products.If we stack a store and manufacturer coupon together,we’re reaching an even larger savings on the brand-nameitem than we could by simply purchasing the store brandat its regular low price.

As with all things, there are always exceptions. If yourstore happens to offer coupons for its own brands, that’s agreat way to save. Here’s a perfect example. Recently, mystore had coupon dispensers set up in the aisle offering $1coupons for “any [store-brand] paper product.” Duringthis sale, store-brand rolls of paper towels, boxes of facialtissue and packages of the napkins were all on sale for $1.Now, if you’re a regular reader of my column, you knowthat using a $1 coupon on a $1 sale is one of my favorite

ways to get things for free!Speaking of coupon dis-

pensers, our next questionthis week pertains to them.

Q: “I often see couponmachines on the shelves ofthe grocery store, but thecoupons in them aren’t usu-ally for things on sale. Isthere a strategy for gettinggood discounts with these?”

A: Absolutely! You’reright in noticing that mostof the time, the coupons inthe store’s coupon dis-pensers don’t link up to thebest sales in the store. That’s also true of the coupons wereceive in the newspaper each week. Their greatest valuecomes when the price of the featured item takes a big dip.I regularly “shop” the coupon dispensers in my stores. If Isee coupons for an item I like, I will take a few to holdonto until the sale price drops. About six weeks ago, mystore’s coupon dispenser offered $2 coupons for turkey ba-con. But the turkey bacon was on sale for $4.99, a relative-ly high price. I took a few coupons from the dispenser andheld onto them for four weeks … when the price of theturkey bacon went down to $2.99.

Now, I took home turkey bacon for 99 cents a package!If I had used those coupons the week I found them in thedispenser though, I would still have paid $2.99 a package— three times the price.

To the editor,Right now, there are more than 50 cats waiting to be

adopted at the Tri-Lakes Humane Society in Saranac Lake,at least 15 cats waiting at the Elmore SPCA in Peru, at least25 at the North Country Animal Shelter in Malone, at least20 at the North Country SPCA in Westport, and incredibly,more than 100 cats in need of good homes at the Adiron-dack Humane Society in Plattsburgh. Overcrowded condi-tions mean that many of these cats have been confined forextended periods to small cages; sometimes for months, ayear, or even longer.

Please, be a hero and adopt a cat (or dog) today at one ofour local animal shelters. You can also search online by en-tering your zip code on petfinder.com. Most of our local

shelters post photos of their adoptable animals on this Website.

And please, please spay and neuter your cats (and dogs)to help reduce this overpopulation crisis in the NorthCountry.

Kids Count By Scot Hurlburt

No matter what your gardening passion — lawn,flowers, or vegetables — all types of gardeningcome down to one thing. And that is soil. No

matter what you want to grow the one thing you need ishealthy soil. To get healthy soil you need to feed your dirt,or to be more accurate you need to feed your microbes andearthworms.

Science has gradually learned if we want to get our bestyields from our gardens, we must recognize our soil has avibrant but delicate ecosystem feeding off of the organicmatter in the soil. Tilling disrupts this balance and cancause organic matter to be lost, nutrients to be under uti-lized, and mircrobe levels to be unbalanced.

So, what should a home gardener who is used to tillingdo? It sounds crazy, but the simple answer is to stop till-ing. Wait a second. What was that? Yes, I did recommendwe stop tilling.

I know it sounds crazy and a clean, weed-free bed is abeautiful. But, I’d rather have a highly productive gardenthan a clean, weed-free bed. So, here’s how you stop tillingand have a weed-free garden bed.

The first thing you have to do is manually dig out anyperennial weeds, lay a 1 to 2 inch layer of compost on topof the soil, and then use a smothering mulch to help pre-vent any new weed seeds from germinating. Grass clip-pings and leaves are great smothering mulches.

Every year simply add another layer of compost andcontinue to use mulch. The microbes in the soil will fur-

ther break down the com-post and the organic mulch.The earthworms, microbes,and rain water will washthe nutrients and the organ-ic material down to theplant’s roots.

One of the most impor-tant components to no-tillgardening is keeping theweeds from establishing. Ifyou see a weed, pull it priorto the plant setting newseeds. The first year will bethe hardest, but through theuse of mulch, not disturbing the seed bed, and hand-pulling the number of weeds will drastically be reduced.

And, with any new gardening venture one of the bestrules of thumb is to start small. Begin with a small areaand experiment to find your favorite methods. If it doesseem strange at first, do preserve. The rewards are signifi-cant.

Too many cats in need of adoption

By Chris [email protected]

SARANAC LAKE — A local college has received morethan $20,000 in stimulus funds to train students for careersin the addictions field.

The state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Ser-vices announced the release of $500,000 acquired throughthe American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Nov. 27.

Karen M. Carpenter-Palumbo is commissioner of the Sub-stance Abuse Services office. She said addictions counselingis among the top 10 fastest growing occupations in the coun-try.

“There is a critical shortage of addictions counselors,” shesaid in a prepared statement. “There’s great demand by em-ployers to hire individuals with this valuable credential.”

On Nov. 30, North Country Community College received$20,590 in stimulus funds to provide free tuition to studentsinterested in pursuing a career in addictions counseling.

The funds cover a comprehensive 350-hour educationalprogram that includes: an unpaid internship; career coun-seling and job placement services; aid in acquiring and com-pleting a credentialing application.

Joe Keegan is interim vice president for Academic Affairsat NCCC. He said the partnership with the state Office of Al-coholism and Substance Abuse Services is invaluable.

“Given the rural nature of our service area and the eco-nomic challenges that we face, regardless of a recession,awards like this have a significant impact in helping ourcommunity members take those first steps into higher edu-cation,” Keegan said.

He added that the students affected most by the stimulusfunds are the individuals who may not have had the oppor-tunity to pursue higher educations beforehand.

Keegan also noted that the state’s resources are stretchedthin, and any extra financial aid helps.

“The stimulus funds provide another avenue in helpingstudents access higher education,” he said. “Community col-leges are on the front line of educating the next generationof addiction professionals.”

Keegan says the funding will also help increase the size offuture classes and aid in student retention as well.

“That leads to positive results for the field and those weserve,” he said.

Upon completion of the 350-hour course, students can ap-ply for the Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse CounselorTrainee certificate. Those individuals are counted among theQualified Health Professionals necessary to run state-certi-fied chemical dependence treatment programs.

Commissioner Carpenter-Palumbo says trainees are ingreat demand in addictions fields and highly employable.

televised ad for Alka Selzter, and this fall he’s featured asone of NBC’s top 25 Olympians to watch in Vancouver. ButDemong’s experience helps him stay focused.

“It’s been kind of a crazy year,” Demong said. “This be-ing my fourth Olympics already, you get kind of used to thepre-Olympic hype.”

His sport’s increasing popularity isn’t the only changeDemong has seen in his year ’s competing at the interna-tional level. The rapid rise of social media and Internet tech-nology has made the world a smaller place – a comfortingthought for an athlete who spends a third of his year trav-eling abroad.

“It’s been huge; I remember when I first went to Europeit was hard to even find a payphone that you could figureout how to call home on,” Demong said. “Now, every dayyou can make some sort of contact. Between Twitter, Face-book or a blog of some sort, you can let the world know whatyou’re doing. I think it’s changed the world and madeeverything a bit smaller and made our sports easier to fol-low over here. It’s really exciting.”

For those looking to follow Demong as he competes in-Vancouver, he’ll be utilizing some of that social networkingtechnology to keep his fans up-to-date.

“You can find me on Twitter, and our team has a blog atusnoco.com,” Demong said. “Our coaches and athletes liketo update it from time-to-time with some great pictures andvideo.”

And for his part, Demong hopes to send a one-word“tweet” to his fans following the 2010 Winter Olympics:

WildernessAfter nearly three centuries of damage by of

flood, wind storm, wildfire, invasive species,climate change and the omnipresent threat of

development, the Adirondack forests of 2009 are consid-ered “the most continuous they have been in over 150years” according to the Adirondack Atlas published by theWildlife Conservation Society.

Although stressed by disease, damaged soils and an as-sortment of airborne pollutants, the state’s forested landshave proven surprisingly resilient. Forests regenerate af-ter damage, it’s a component of nature restoring itself.

The Adirondack Park currently contains some of thelargest stands of virgin forest east of the Mississippi. Be-ginning in the early 1870’s, the state began acquiring near-ly 2,000 parcels of forested lands with a combined total ofnearly 1.3 million acres that held either virgin forest orlands that were once lightly cut for spruce according to re-search by the late, Barbara McMartin.

As a result of the state’s aggressive land acquisition pro-grams, which have been accomplished through both out-right fee purchase and conservation easements, theamount of protected acreage in the Adirondack Park iscurrently at an all-time high.

However, despite the collective force of dozens of advo-cacy groups pressing for preservation, the park remains adisjointed conglomeration of independent private andpublic parcels of land.

Although it has often been considered a model as one ofthe country’s oldest and most successful parks, theAdirondack region does not offer an extensive and seam-less wilderness. Rather, the park features a varied assort-ment of lands dispersed around a variety of small commu-nities.

It has been said that a park with permanent residentscan never become more than a trial wilderness due to theinfrastructure of roads and power grids. The dispersedcommunities divide the landscape and disrupt the connec-tivity which is vital to a true wilderness.

Light and sound pollution do not respect the boundariesestablished by zoning. Neither do migrating or invasivespecies of flora, fauna and an annual influx of millions ofvisitors.

Wilderness by definition is a sizable, roadless regionwhere the natural ecological processes continue to evolvewith as little human interference as possible according to afederal statute established by the Wilderness Act of 1964.

In the Adirondacks, of all the land classifications, manhas impacted wilderness areas the least. To further protectthem, wilderness areas have restrictions placed upon theiruse with only conforming "structures and improvements"such as leantos, outhouses and pre-existing dams allowed.

In order to foster access, foot trails, log bridges andsignboards are permitted but the use of motors or mecha-nized vehicles such as bicycles is prohibited.

When the Adirondack Park Agency was established in1972, the state identified fifteen parcels consisting of aminimum of 10,000 acres each to be established as wilder-ness areas.

Today approximately 1,030,000 acres of protected landsare designated as wilderness which constitutes approxi-mately 18.2 percent of the public lands within the park.The park encompasses nearly 85 percent of all wildernesslands east of the Mississippi, which is besieged by nearly 9million visitors annually.

The park’s wilderness lands still present a conundrumof disjointed public parcels which are dissected by high-ways, hamlets, private parks and villages. While there re-main numerous opportunities for extensive travel, eventhe most remote sections of the park lack the contiguousnature of true wilderness. Despite the ‘rewilding’ effortsof travelers are still likely to encounter signs of man atsome point in their travels.

According to a Draft Map of Primitive Class Areas in theAdirondack Park developed by the Adirondack ParkAgency, “The preliminary estimate of potential PrimitiveAreas indicates the truly remote areas of the AdirondackPark are a relatively small and therefore precious re-source.”

According to the methodology implemented by the USForest Service’s Recreational Opportunity Spectrum, lessthan 3 percent of the park’s total of 6 million acres are con-sidered to be truly primitive enough to be wilderness.

Do these lands indeed furnish the vast, contiguous ex-panse of wild forests, solitary ponds and savage watersthat are to be expected of an authentic wilderness or arethey a ‘reclaimed wilderness,’ fashioned by regulations,restrictions and zoning?

Does the intrusion of an airplane overhead, a fire towerabove or the evidence of a long forgotten foundation along

a trail diminish the wilder-ness character of the land?

And what about people?When a community ofcampers crops up in an oth-erwise desolate location, arethey any less invasive thanthe sound or sight of man-made appliances or struc-tures? Is wilderness simplya state of mind?

Despite the inherentdrawbacks of design, theAdirondack Park remains anoutstanding example ofwhat can be accomplished when wild lands are affordedprotection from the “hands of man.”

Although the park may be considered an imperfectwilderness on a number of levels, it is still a place whereit is possible to find oneself immersed in the middle ofnowhere. And I must agree with Steve McQueen whoonce said, “I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowherethan in any city on earth.”

A closeencounter

Few hunters I’ve spo-ken with can believethe sequence of

events that played out a fewweeks ago when a NorthCountry man was attackedby a 10-point buck near hisremote home outside Mal-one.

Minerva resident Brian Warrington, however, nolonger falls into that category.

That’s because it nearly happened to him, too. Theoutcome, however, was a shade different.

“I read your column last week and couldn’t believe adeer would act like that,” Warrington told me, referringto my last column in which I described how GeraldDabiew wrestled with a mature buck for nearly 20 min-utes as it pounded him into the ground.

“Well, I believe it now.”Warrington said his own harrowing encounter began

as he and his wife, Patty, started up into the woods tobegin a drive. Barely off the blacktop, the duo jumpedtwo deer, one of which was a slammer buck.

“So, I pulled out an estrus bleat, and bleated threetimes,” Warrington said.

Before he could put the call away, the deer appeared,stomped at the ground, lowered its antlers and charged.

“My wife and I have been hunting together for 30years,” Brian said. “I’ve seen a lot of unusual things inthe woods, but nothing like this.”

Brian said Patty lunged for safety behind a tree as the180-pound buck closed to within 30 feet and fired at thedeer, missing it. The shot brought the animal to a stop,however, and Brian dropped it in its tracks.

“Obviously, the deer came to the bleat call, but thisdeer was so aggressive, it was grunting and growlingand coming straight for us,” Brain said.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said.Patty agreed. “It’s pretty scary when it happens to you,” she said,

adding she will never doubt the effectiveness of a callagain, or how a rutting buck might respond.

“I’m a believer now,” she said, echoing her hus-band’s earlier sentiment.

After reading my last column about a local man who was at-tacked by a 10-point-buck, Brian Warrington called to tell meabout his own close encounter. As the pictured above shows,however, the outcome was a little different in his case.

My cousin, Bill Gereau, shot this big 8-pointer with his crewin Minerva Nov. 6. The buck weighed 152 pounds and was hislargest to date.

A couple of firsts: North Creek resident Rick Bennett wrote recently to reportthat two of his sons, Jesse and Kyle each scored this sea-son. Pictured above is Kyle Bennett with his first Adiron-dack buck, an 8-pointer that weighed 120 pounds. Picturedbelow is Rick’s youngest son, Jesse, with his first buck, a100-pound, 4-pointer he nailed across a field in OniedaCounty at 200 yards with his 7mm08.
